Love British Food!


If you have been into Mitchells Dairy in the past couple of days you will have noticed that we are celebrating British Food Fortnight which takes place between the 17th September and 2nd October.

Given how proud we are to stock local and British products, we thought we would join in on the tenth national food promotion to celebrate the diverse and delicious range of food that Britain produce.

To mark the celebrations of the Food Fortnight, we will have decorations up in the shop and we are encouraging everyone to buy local, not only for this fortnight but as a matter of habit. There are countless reasons to buy local and to buy British, just some of the reasons can be found here. For more information on the British Food Fortnight check out their website where you can find our everything you need to know about buying British food including what logos to look for on products, where to buy and information about regional and seasonal varieties.

During British Food Fortnight 17th September to 2nd October Mitchells will celebrate all that is good about British, local and seasonal produce. Many of our suppliers produce local produce including:
The stew, mince, tatties and skirlie that can be found at the Dairy Tearoom is made from locally produced beef supplied by Preslys Butchers in Oldmedrum and it's locally grown potatoes and oatmeal from Hamlyn/Grampian Oat Products in Banff. 

At the moment we have a great selection of seasonal and locally grown veg including carrots, cauliflower, Romanesque, turnips, cabbage, broccoli. Due to an extended growing season this year we still have locally grown strawberries from Barra Berries and Fetternear Fruit, which grow within 5 miles of our shop!

Dine on Us at Mitchells


Some of you may recall that Mitchells Dairy ran a competition back in June this year on our facebook page. The entrants to the competition were to create a menu that included all products that are available to buy in store at Mitchells. Our lucky winner, Ann Peter created a mouth watering menu and we had the pleasure of preparing the winning menu on Saturday.

The picture to the left shows Ann and family 'Dining on us' on Saturday night. We were delighted to treat Ann and her family to her winning menu of Cullen Skink with Downies fish, Presly Butcher's haggis, local neeps and tatties followed by Barra Berry roulade with Mitchells cream and ice-cream. All ingredients available at Mitchells! Yummy!

Mooriel takes to the stage

It looks like Mooriel has taken up a new career in acting! This Sunday (11th September), our very own Mitchells' Cow, Mooriel will tread the boards in Inverurie Town Hall, starring in a special charity preview of Flying Pigs Production “Silence of the Bams” in aid of Friends Of Insch Hospital and Community.

The Friends Of Insch Hospital and Community were established in 1988 to promote, provide or assist by voluntary and financial means, which improves the standard and quality of care or environment of patients of Insch Hospital, Community and Health Centre.

The entertaining and fabulously funny Flying Pigs production will raise funds to help build a Health Hub immediately in front of the present War Memorial Hospital. This will assure the continuation of the services available at present, and add further services to benefit patients in the future.

Tickets are available from Mitchells at The Dairy, Strachans Newsagent Inverurie and Stephens DIY in Insch. You will also be able to catch Mooriel for 2 weeks in October in the very same production at His Majesty’s Theatre Aberdeen.
